Scribus 1.2.x does not have RGB print profiles, but it is already on the roadmap for 1.3.X RGB (mostly inkjet) printers have a different role. They are ideal for high end photographic prints, as well as more common desktop usage. IMO, CMYK conversions are years from disappearing. Only the newest most advanced commercial printing systems support PDF/X-3 and even then the operator needs to be aware of the capabilities. Cheers, Peter
